Prometheus. My favorite Greek god. He was assigned the task
of molding mankind. Out of clay. Indeed, a true creator. Turns out, Prometheus fell in love with mankind. But
the top god, Zeus, didn’t particularly like humans. They annoyed him. To the
point, that he decided to take away fire from mankind. Lo and behold, Prometheus
stepped in. Stole fire from the heavens and gave it back to the humans. That irked
Zeus. He decided to punish the defiant Prometheus. By having him chained to a
rock. Where an eagle would eat his liver every day. The liver regenerated every
night. After all, Prometheus was immortal. Though he had to put up a big bird
pecking away at his liver. The good news. Prometheus was freed from his agony. By
the powerful demigod, Hercules. Wow! I like it. When the gods interact with each
other. Even if it’s in a spiteful manner. Almost like humans. Hey. Maybe we
share the same DNA. --Jim Broede
